For example the one I chose: Flying

I could simply die like anyone else. Flying wouldn't make any difference except if someone pushed me off a building. Then again if I was passed out while they did it I could die that way too.


Who said it would have to make you live longer or not? It would still be freaking awesome.

YAY! Someone else thinks it would be cool!

To choose just one superpower is impossible! First I would like to have the ability of being able to transport to anywhere I wish whenever I wish, so that I could travel somewhere other than my boring hometown whenever I wanted, or escape nasty situations. Then there's also the whole time travel thing. I would love to be able to travel back in time and see History shape itself, perhaps meet some famous literary figures from the past. Maybe if I grew crazy enough someday, I would even travel to the future. Impossible, I say, impossible :!:

I just thought of another superpower I would like, or Supermal actually gave me the idea. Orbing. Being able to travel one place to another in a matter of miliseconds.

Control over the weather.

Stuck inside on a rainy day? Make the sun shine.

Need an extra day to study? Move the blizzards into town.

Someone getting on your nerves? Zap them in the face with a bolt of lightning.

Exactly.

Hmmm...well, saying psychic power is probobly too general, cause that encompasses at least three different powers. Darn.

In that case, I'm torn between telekinesis and shapeshifting. Teleportation would be cool, but I'd still prefer telekinesis. As to shapeshifting, it would be shifting into any living form I want, real or not. Werewolf or dragon? No problem! There would be some physical explanation for fire breathing and if not, well then I just wouldn't be a fire breathing dragon. And wings on my back whenever I wanted. Oh man, flying with wings? That would be cool. That, and I could have animal night-vision, hearing, smell, strength, and other animalistic abilities whenever I wanted. Now that would be so cool.

As to telekinesis, I would only really use it when the object was too heavy to carry, too far to reach, or my hands were full, or some such scenario. Plus, it's great for fighting. Throw objects at your opponent, throw your opponenet, or just beat them silly by nailing them from a distance as though you were really hitting them. That, and more! I could move myself to fly without having a "flying power" (ha, ha, ha). Plus, I can create a physical barrier around myself. Sure, it may be a bit taxing on the mind, since I'd always have my mind partially on keeping anything from getting closer to three inches from me or so (other than my clothing or backpack and such), but it would be well worth it.

If I make up my mind, I'll let you know.

Flying. Not only is it cool, but if you didn't want to actually reveal your flight powers to normal people, you could utilize flying to do amazing (yet humanly possible) things, like flipping off of walls or running fast.

And you wouldn't have to worry about tripping and falling either.

The above assuming that the flight was controlled by unseen forces rather than wings.

With wings it's a whole different story. Mainly the only thing you could do with wings is fly, but without the fancy human tricks, though...

Extremely fast refelxes, high pain tolerance and beyond-human endurance. Basicaly like Neo from the first Matrix.

Well you could knock out the second two with a healing factor, but isn't that like 3 powers?

True...
I'd choose superhuman refelxes, but since this all purely imaginary, why not take three powers?
